For people marching in DC in the Name of Christ - give this up. Go home and love your neighbor, serve your city, and build up your brothers and sisters in your church. Your theocratic visions cannot be met by a US President of any party. I'm glad you're praying, but...

...theocracy of the entire cosmos is what Jesus *already* has - he needs no votes or elections being overturned to establish his rule. I fear you've succumbed to a bewitching idol of power, supposing that a particular man will save us. He won't. He can't. But there's more.

Please consider what your public anger, faux displays of spirituality, and in some cases just plain weirdness do to the cause of the Gospel in our world. I am going to be blunt with you. You're harming the Church and the Church's witness. Please stop. You're branding Jesus as GOP

You've so equated the Kingdom of God with a particular vision of America, the Gospel's power with a political party, and the purpose of God with one man, that you've reduced the word Evangelical to a cul-de-sac of political power plays. What tragic impoverishment. Please stop.

Yes, protest marches are often good & needed, as are huge gatherings in DC of citizens from across the country to show leaders the issues we think matter. That's perfectly good and right. But refrain from violence, hatred, and undermining the Gospel's progress in our world.

How come the mayoral candidates haven’t been asked whether they agree with the de Blasio administration’s separate-but-equal defense to the Fair Housing Act lawsuit challenging NYC’s discriminatory “community preference” policy, @JeffCMays?

https://t.co/oEP4CxHgyp (1/10)

The candidates, @ShantRS, have been falling all over themselves claiming their civil rights bona fides. But, on this issue, they’ve been silent. (2/10)

There have been more than a MILLION households in NYC that have participated in affordable housing lotteries, @sallygold, so that system’s denial of a level playing field is a critical issue that any mayoral candidate genuinely interested in civil rights needs to speak to. (3/10)

Contrary to what you hear from those professionally invested in maintaining the status quo, @JCColtin, TONS of applicants are interested in applying outside of their community districts. (4/10)

In fact, @RossBarkan, about 85 percent of housing lottery applicants apply outside of their CD at least 75 percent of the time. True for all races. (5/10)

Bad news. The day before yesterday, we had confirmation of 3 new variants of concern in the US. As of yesterday, we now have 4. Three of the 4 variants have just been confirmed in the last month. The new one yesterday is the South African variant.

What does this mean for

Americans?
1. If you have been lucky and been able to get away with being in gatherings and not wearing a mask up until now, your luck is about to run out. It’s time to take the public health guidance seriously and don’t get in large gatherings, especially indoors, and you need

to wear a mask.
2. We need to slow down the transmission of this virus or we are going to get yet more variants. I have fought against the suggestions by some that we should lock up the elderly & high risk individuals at home & then let everyone get back to normal and spread the

virus to get herd immunity for a year. It is a dangerous proposal and the proliferation of new variants is a consequence.
3. We need to get as many people vaccinated as soon as possible.
4. There are discussions that since schools have operated safely in the past (by and large,

they have), we should now bring students back for full in-person classes. This is a mistake for several reasons. First, our data that these decisions and the recent CDC report were based on was with the majority of schools in hybrid. The first rule of interpreting scientific

My two cents on this important article from @David_Philipps. I've been trying to tell people for years now that SOF has absolutely no special ability to resist attacks on their cognitive spaces. We have no special training to deal with

I first started noticing this during the Obama admin as I was watching Special Forces veterans (mostly on Facebook) jump onboard with clear Russian propaganda, the source was not even concealed. These were Cold Warriors, now worshipping Putin as a defender of Christianity.

It was absolutely bizarre watching people who I thought should know better salivate over a foreign dictator while they decried Obama as a usurper undermining the fabric of America. Putin was the strong white man, Obama was the secret Muslim. Their minds had been captured.

Thread: The insurrection was seeded on social media platforms, then planned and broadcast on far-right

For days leading up to yesterday’s electoral college certification, posters used social media sites like Gab and Parler, encrypted messaging platforms like Telegram, and the pro-Trump forum The Donald to organize and share information.

Some messages on the pro-Trump forum The Donald urged the murders of Democratic leaders like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

As the mob prowled the capitol complex, some used livestreaming sites like DLive to boast of occupying lawmakers’ offices. Some even streamed from Nancy Pelosi's office.

While fringe sites aided and amplified yesterday’s mayhem, some of the biggest names in tech have abetted the coalescing of the violent far-right, online extremism researcher @MeganSquire0 told me.

After the province's ambulance dispatch consolidation plan took place last month, mayors of Calgary, Red Deer, Lethbridge and Wood Buffalo are sharing concerns. #ableg

This morning, during a council meeting, Calgary's 911 director said they experienced issues on the first day of the switch in the city that prevented someone from receiving timely medical assistance.

Red Deer Mayor Tara Veer says they have all been seeing issues since the switch. She is calling for a third-party inquiry to investigate these problems.

Lethbridge Mayor Chris Spearman says they're not too surprised about technical failures, but they are particularly concerned that AHS has not been very up front about what happened. There have also been several mix-ups in his community. Lack of accountability from the province.

Spearman says this is clearly not about money or patient care, so he asks the province why are they doing this? "Lives are at risk, and we need to pause this transition now." He also calls for an investigation.

Everyone call these State Senators & House Members And Tell them to File An Amicus Brief In The Texas Lawsuit Before 3pm!

Okay, so... let's start going down the list. Who is really behind the False Flag storming of the Capitol on Jan 6th, and who is behind the onslaught of social media attacks? My short list of possible culprits.

Retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal

My money is on Brennan for directing the whole thing.

THREAD: The insurrection we saw in #WashingtonDC yesterday was an example of how political violence isn’t limited to the fringes of the far-right: it permeates even mainstream spaces.

Insurrectionist and right-wing accelerationist dogma that insists on the utility of political violence and terrorism that has flourished within the far-right for decades emerged in our nation’s capital

For almost 2 years, while mostly ignoring the Proud Boys, federal authorities and law enforcement have focused on white power accelerationists as the predominant terror threat on the right, where insurrectionist dogma has played a

This includes Atomwaffen and The Base, two violent hate groups. More about The Base #SoundsLikeHatePod

These apocalyptic visions of war and revolution permeate all corners of the hard right, and the violence implicit in those visions can become very real — as we saw yesterday.

So it turns out that @RepBillJohnson is pretty cozy I guess with one of the guys who just tearfully confessed to his part in the #CapitolRiots

1. I've had second thoughts about the value of the extensive weasel words the @adndotcom published from the lips of @SenDanSullivan the other day. Thanks to @AK_OK for offering this profile in evasion. I've added annotation.

2. Sullivan covers for Trump, the inciter-in-chief with a deflection, never admitting that Trump lit the fuse. "I think had the president accepted the election results earlier and repudiated the mob violence earlier and more forcefully, it could have had an impact yesterday.”

3. As late as Monday Jan. 4, Sullivan's office refused comment on the GOP coup proposed by members of Congress. On Jan. 7, Sullivan said he had "decided a number of days ago" to oppose the coup. So he stayed silent in the corner, avoiding triggering Trump or Trump voters.

4. Embarrassed by the rioters, Trump defenders like Sarah Palin started the lie—rejected by the FBI—that the terrorists were Antifa. Sullivan won't call it a lie.

5. Sullivan and other Republicans refused to denounce the torrent of lies from Trump about the election, setting the stage for the GOP terrorists. Sullivan still excuses himself and refuses to call out Trump's lies, knowing that Trump is popular with Sullivan voters.

25 ways Princess Diana broke protocol as a Royal - A THREAD

1. She had a job before she got married:
Diana worked as a part-time kindergarten teacher in London. At the time, she was the first royal to have a paying job before getting engaged.

2. She picked her own engagement ring — from a catalog:
Although royal engagement rings are usually custom made, the 19-year-old bride selected hers from the Garrard jewelry collection catalog. Because Diana's ring was "accessible" to the public at the time, this caused a stir.

3. She wrote her own vows:
In 1981, Princess Diana made history when she famously refused to say that she would "obey" Prince Charles during their wedding vows. She also called Charles the wrong name!

4. Then Kate Middleton followed Diana's lead:
Kate removed the line in her vows that said she would "obey" Prince William.

PETITION FOR TEXAS SOVEREIGN ACTION

Dear @GregAbbott_TX As NBCs of the United States for the preservation of the Union we petition you to call up the Texas Constitutional Militia, resubmit your case to SCOTUS, occupy all assets of Chinese nationalists suspected of high treason!

With the Constitutional Militia Mustered, SCOTUS will hear you case! and the other Patriot States will take similar actions to preserve these United States of America as a government of the people, by the people and for the people with the right to 1 legal vote per 1 voter.

Never has #TEXAS had a cause so just and righteous, so patriotic, so universal. For as Christ teaches, when we see America beaten up on the side of the road, we cannot pass by like the hypocrite and pretend his wounds do not need caring for. (cf. Luke 10:25-37)

Moreover, as it is now public knowledge that #Scotus refused to hear the #TEXAS case out of prejudice, the implied contract of one citizen one vote is constitutionally threatened if the High court refuses to hear the case. Texas has the constitutional duty to uphold that right!

PETITION FOR SOVEREIGN ACTION OF #ARKANSAS #LOUISIANA #MISSISSIPPI #MISSOURI #SOUTHCAROLINA and #UTAH

to join #Texas in above constitutional redress authorized by the #10thAmendment and #2ndAmendment as solution to grave constitutional crises! (see top tweet in this thread)

They have pangolin Cells in a dish! These cells (primary fibroblasts) are collected at 2020-03-20 and are susceptible to contamination by lab viruses and environmental viruses. (Although no Coronaviruses have been found in either

The DNA zoo project brag about coronaviruses—and therefore there is a very high likelihood that infectious clone rescue may have been conducted with these cells. Catarrhini is also found in the datasets. Cells may be manipulated, and infectious clone may be inserted.
